PRINCETON, N.J. --
Junior Monica Hanson scored five goals and
freshman Rachael Bentley added a hat trick as
George Washington University picked up its first victory of 2011
with a 15-7 triumph over Villanova in the final game of the
Princeton Invitational Sunday.

GW trailed No. 19-nationally ranked
University of the Pacific just 1-0 after a quarter, but the Tigers
netted four unanswered goals en route to outscoring the Colonials,
8-2, in the second period to build a 9-2 halftime lead. The
Colonials converted just 1-of-6 power-play chances and 6-of-28 shot
attempts to negate senior Charlotte Schou's 10
saves in goal.

Hanson and Bentley combined for
eight goals and junior Megan Walker added two to
help GW to a 15-7 win over Villanova in Saturday's late game. The
Colonials scored the first four goals of the game, led 7-2 at
halftime and 11-5 after three quarters in cruising past the
Wildcats.

Schou totaled four saves, including
a penalty block, and junior Antonia Raris made two
stops to pace GW's defense.
